There has been as much ink or pixel matter here over The Jackson as in a lot of other cultural society jibber jabber. Thanks for keeping it alive, man.
ReplyDeleteI think you meant to post that on one of Steve's posts, as my post isn't about Jackson. It's about the media's obsession with Jackson.
ReplyDeleteMr. Mallett,
ReplyDeleteI've posted on Jackson because he's a pop cultural icon. To the extent that he's being foisted on the general culture as a standard-bearer, it's worthwhile to present a Christian corrective.
It's also good for Christians to have a sense of timing and seize the opportunity when such an opportunity presents itself. The saturation coverage of Jackson's demise premise presents one such opportunity.
Plus it's Bush's fault.

Given his field of specialization (e.g. Gospels, historical Jesus), Blomberg's post and subsequent replies are strong where you'd expect them to be strong and weak where you'd expect them to be weak. There's some useful material, but it also suffers from some predictable limitations.

Blomberg is a sophisticated defender of the historicity and inerrancy of the NT. On a related note, he's also devoted much time and attention over the years to historical evidences for Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWhen, however, he strays into other areas, he's less reliable.
There is nothing to be flippant about here. As we speak, this man is being tormented by a wrathful and vengeful Almighty God. He has entered the first few days of what will be a never-ending torture of his sinful body and soul.
ReplyDeleteThis is no laughing matter. Sinners need to understand the consequences of their actions.
Peter,
ReplyDeleteThis is stinkin' funny! Thanks for the laugh. I like your satire.
